ASSEMBLY
OFFSET ADAPTER HITCH (EXTRA EQUIPMENT)
(Figure Asm-R-0084)
Fasten the Offset Adapter Hitch weldment to the lift lugs using the Hitch Pin holes. Fasten the Adjustable Leg
to the left side lug if the Mower is to offset to the left. The Mower will make a cleaner cut behind the wheel
tracks if it is offset to the left. Reverse the Assembly for right offset.
Install the Brace Bars. Fasten the chain end to the rear mounting hole in the Gearbox Base Plate. Adjust the
Brace Bar so the Hitch Assembly is nearly perpendicular.
Attach the Mower to the tractor. Install stabilizer bars or adjust sway chains to prevent side sway of the mower.
Stabilizer Bars or Sway Chains must be installed and adjusted tightly. Without these bars or
chains, serious damage to the Driveline can occur, and broken parts could cause bodily
injury to the operator or bystanders. Stabilizer Bars or Sway Chains are available at most
tractor dealerships.
Raise the mower to check clearance between the Driveline and Mower Deck. Set the lift stop on the tractor to
ascertain that the Driveline does not strike the deck.
